Learning Mentor - Connect

The Learning Mentor at Chellaston Academy plays a key role in supporting students who need additional help to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. It’s a hands‑on, student‑focused role that sits within the wider Tapestry Learning Partnership vision of inclusion, care, and excellence.

Who We’re Looking For

Chellaston Academy is looking for a caring, resilient, and dedicated Learning Mentor who can make a real difference to young people particularly those who need help overcoming social, emotional, or learning barriers.

About Chellaston Academy

At Chellaston Academy, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create mature, confident and successful global citizens who can thrive in an ever-changing world, guided by our shared values of Integrity, Care and Excellence.

While strong academic outcomes matter, we believe success is defined by far more than examination results. We are committed to developing the whole person, nurturing qualities such as self-confidence, self-belief and self-esteem, and recognising and celebrating individual talents.

Our students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that, when expectations are high and shared, every child can achieve great things. This includes promoting an excellent attitude centered on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.

Chellaston Academy is a school where:

·       Diversity is celebrated and inclusion shapes everything we do.

·       Children feel safe, happy and supported.

·       High expectations drive achievement for all.

·       Relationships between staff and students are strong, respectful and built on trust.

·       Staff wellbeing is valued, and colleagues genuinely enjoy being part of our community.
